"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU WON'T BE JOINING THE WAR?!" – shouted pissed off Thanatos as she visited Phantasia base. "It is not like I don't want it, it's just like I can't." – said Phantasia as he welded something. "I'm maybe one of the strongest players in the game and my presence alone can terrify people." "That is pretty much a thing everybody knows." "But right now I'm focused on developing weapons." "If you place me on the frontlines, sure, I can go berserk, I can use necromancy to create undeads or make chimeras out of the empire soldiers." "I could also command my own army of monsters." "But what we need more are weapons." "Even "Kid" said himself that I need to develop weapons." "And, from what I've heard, the Great Barrier was not even once breached, besides bombardment?" "Well, yes. But what does the Great Barrier has to do with anything right now!? They are already here!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 "And what if they deploy another Great Barrier at their "new base"?" – asked Phantasia. "THAT is the problem, we won't be able to push them out of this continent." "From the "Kid" informations, the Great Barrier form you saw at the sea was the heavily modified version." "The real deal is a dome barrier that cannot move." "And that fucker "Kid" wants me to make a weapon that would be at least able to damage the bloody thing….. Fucking nice." "Great Barrier and Daughter Of Mercy." "Those are the two most annoying things." "Even though they still have yet to deploy the barrier, they have the Daughter Of Mercy, a little girl that can deploy a safe heaven and heal countless soldiers." "They can fortify their location with her help and then use that time to set up the barrier." "Now, you get it?" – asked Phantasia as Thanatos went silence, realizing the danger. "I need to develop a weapon that would be at least able to damage that barrier in order to put pressure on these empire soldiers." – said Phantasia. "So sorry, but not sorry." "I understand." – said Thanatos. (Having this madman join the fight would be extremely beneficial.) (Still, he isn't wrong.) (That barrier was way too annoying, even though it was only placed at front…. But if the barrier real form is truly a dome, then we won't be able to kick out the empire for good…. If only I didn't failed in that stupid assassination!) (Not only that, but our "sniper her twice" plan isn't working…. Or more exactly we can't put in action.) (They are extremely paranoid about the assassination, be it from close range or from afar.) (Even some players that were also [Shadow Assassins] who were on our side were exposed out of a blue and then eliminated.) (I maybe could had sneaked in, with my high level stealth, but then what? That barrier would save her from my first most powerful attack and if I were to try again, they would just swarm me….. So nope…. And since she is in the city all the time that is filled up with soldiers…. How in the bloody hell can we eliminate the Daughter Of Mercy.) (We can't snipe her, since she is hiding in the city and to enter it you need to be high level assassin, no half assed assassin build would do.) (But snipping her is the only answer, since attacking from up close would be physically impossible.) "Say, you wouldn't have some sort of long range death laser that can be fired from kilometers away that travels so fast that nobody would be able to react?" "No? If I had something like that, I would be using it long time ago…. Why do you even ask?" – asked Phantasia. "Welp, it was worth a shot." – said Thanatos. <<" Kid" said that it could be possible…. But in reality, the goddess of heavens are extremely divided.>> <<….Welp, let him look into it, I have already my hands full.>> <<…..And to make things worse, they deployed the barrier after enough time had passed.>> "YOU WANT US TO JOIN THE WAR!?" - shouted the furious merfolk princess as she was called for the meeting by the Son Of Glory. "That was not in our agreement!" "It is now." – said Godfrey. "And your father already agreed to it." (HE DID WHAT?!) – thought furious princess. "The attack will be led here and you will be the one leading the troops." "Your goal is to cause distraction and chaos in order to- " "AND I'M SAYING THAT THIS WASN'T THE PART OF OUR ORGINAL AGREEMENT!" – cutten in the princess. "Our kingdom is still recovering! We straight up have no way of providing you troops, but now you are telling me to gather any remaining men and woman that can fight for what?! To die as distraction!?" "I DRAW A LINE HERE!" "I WILL BE NOT PART OF THIS!" – shouted the princess before then leaving the room. "I've told you; she won't agreed to it." – said Iron Will. "It was obvious." – said Godfrey. "Honestly, I wanted her to refuse in order to put somebody in charge instead." "Her hostility towards us was too much, honestly I just want to kick her out of here before she does something." "But won't that damage relationship between us and merfolk?" – asked Iron Will. "Nah. If anything, I never trusted merfolk." – said Godfrey. "Their king is a coward that will bow their head to the strongest or if it means saving his own skin." "That kind of king could betray us at any moment, even siding with the hell itself that destroyed his kingdom and murdered his wife." "I see the merfolk kingdom as nothing more than ticking bomb….. A bomb that will be need to be dealt with sooner or later."
